A Simpler Life is Comforting

For A Simpler Life, invest in relationships with community, companions and kin. The comfort, happiness and pleasures we yearn for come from loved ones. It's about having a shoulder to cry on when you need it, and being that shoulder when someone else needs it. It means having someone to call for help when you're overwhelmed, and helping when someone else is overwhelmed. Strong relationships are tightly woven into the fabric of A Simpler Life.

A Simpler Life springs from strong relationships

by Galen Lehman

A Simpler Life allows time to show our love, care for and surround ourselves with the people we care about. Pull out a board game, gather over a meal, enjoy a conversation, put together a puzzle, share laughter! One thing we know is that relationships matter, and you can't have A Simpler Life without them.

My family has lived in the Kidron community since our town was founded, in 1819. In seven generations, the most important thing we learned is that relationships grow stronger than iron when secured by compassion and kindness. That's where healthy community starts! Communities where people know and care for each other provide a sure strategy to safely thrive if things turn bad.

Lehman's supports A Simpler Life by carrying products that draw folks together. Many of our tools work best with shared labor, like our two-man crosscut saw. Because we believe in rubbing elbows around the table, we offer lots of cooking solutions. We know that living in real community means being willing to sacrifice for others. So, we've given 10% of our pre-tax profits to charity ever since the day we opened in an effort to make the world a better place (view our commitment here). Nothing creates the Simpler Life we all strive for more than surrounding yourself with people you can trust...family, companions and community.
